#20 through #17

[Last Race: 20th (-)] — Despite driving in all 20 races of the 2017 Formula One season, Marcus Ericsson has nothing to show for it in points. He closed out the season with another lackluster finish of 17th place in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.. Sauber. Ferrari. MARCUS ERICSSON. #20

#19. [Last Race: 18th (-1)] — Brendon Hartley also finished the 2017 Formula One season without scoring any points, but he only drove in four races. Still, he finished just two of those four races with a top finish of 13th place, which is nothing to write home about.. Toro Rosso. Renault. BRENDON HARTLEY

#18. [Last Race: 17th (-1)] — While he didn’t score a single point in his five Formula One races this season, Pierre Gasly was not terrible, as he finished all five of those races. However, his worst career result came in the season finale, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, when he finished in 16th place.. Toro Rosso. Renault. PIERRE GASLY

#17. [Last Race: 19th (+2)] — Pascal Wehrlein didn’t score any points in the final 12 races of the 2017 Formula One season, but the fact that he was somewhat consistent toward the end of the season, finishing seven of the last eight races, and scored <i>any</i> points driving for Sauber is a plus.. Sauber. Ferrari. PASCAL WEHRLEIN
